Oh, Yateendra, my Lord! Please grant unto me, now and here,
Steadfast devotion to the meanings of the three syllables
Of the eight-lettered TIRUMANTRA and let me forever
Revel in the enjoyment of your lotus feet, indeed adorable
By the illustrious stalwarts heading the ranks of righteous.
Notes
By Padatrayartanishta is meant steadfast devotion to the triple meanings
of the said Mantra, namely subservience to none but the Lord,
dependence on Him solely and service unto Him and His devotees.
In the preceding sloka, service was prayed for and as it is the
quintessence of ?Tirumantra?, the poet?s mind at once turned on to
this Mantra and he prays to the great Master (Ramanuja) to vouchsafe
to him the requisite devotion to translate into practice the triple meanings
yielded by the said Mantra, as above, with this difference that
Ramanuja would take the place of the Lord in so far as the poet is concerned.
